Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2095

Shi Anxia knew that the road to Liang State was bound to be full of thorns. In the years to come, their family would have to tread a bloody path on the edge of a knife.

The flowers and splendours before our eyes are only appearances. The turbulent undercurrents in the court are the real living conditions.

Her identity as the Princess of the Northern Wing would be criticized sooner or later. Those hands hidden under the wide sleeves of the court dress were always ready to bury the flash of swords in the memorials.

The ministers will keep a close eye on her husband's harem, and how her three children can grow up healthily are issues that she needs to think about calmly from the moment of her wedding.

Is she afraid?

In fact, she is not afraid. The thorns in her previous life are the armor of this life.

Besides, with her husband to protect her from the wind and rain, what does she have to be afraid of?

But she must teach her children well, let them know that they are different from other children, that they have received more than others since birth, and therefore must bear more.

Gains and losses are always equal.

So her husband discussed with her in the letter that he wanted to appoint the crown prince on the day of the wedding. Shi Anxia agreed without any hesitation.

She understood that this was a top priority.

Only by settling things down first can we stabilize the political situation.

At the auspicious time of three quarters, the two countries' historians stood solemnly by the river, one holding a jade tablet of the alliance, the other holding a gilded bronze book.

The two recited in unison: "The Huai River and the Xing River are surging, the sun and the moon are shining. The river is our witness, the mountain is our border. The Yiliang is our eternal bond, the Qin and Jin dynasties will prosper forever. The sunken box is our oath, those who disobey will suffer from heaven's calamity."

After the recitation, the historian ordered them to hold the golden box. The cover of this box was embossed with a map of the two countries' territories with the Huaixing River as the boundary. The box body was cast with the four characters "山河同寿" in seal script, and the inside was covered with brocade with the Big Dipper pattern.

The dragon-patterned jade belt and the covenant letter were placed in the box together.

"Sink the box--" As the ceremonial officer shouted, the golden box was wrapped nine times with colorful silk ropes and escorted by twelve golden sword guards from both sides to sink the box.

The moment they entered the water, the two countries swore an oath of alliance, with the mountains and rivers as their bond. The Huaixing River suddenly became as calm as a mirror, reflecting the complete reflection of both banks, just like the seamless border on the map.

The ceremonial officer stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Princess, please move."

Shi Anxia nodded slightly, and slowly stepped down from the sedan chair with the help of the maid.

The river breeze blew gently, lifting the pearl curtain in front of her, revealing her bright, dignified and peerless face.

The majestic black dog Ye Baoer jumped down from behind her. It shook its shiny fur, looked around vigilantly, and then followed closely beside its master.

Several children also got out of the sedan chair and stood solemnly beside their mother.

This appearance surprised many people who did not know the truth.

"Hey, the emperor and empress are getting married, why does the empress have several children?"

Of course, there are many people who know the inside story. "Look at how ignorant you are. Liang Guoyu Emperor is the consort of our Northern Wing! They are a married couple who were married through three matchmakers and six betrothals. What's so strange about having a few children?"

"No, that's not right. How come there are three of them at once?"

"The princess gave birth to three children in one pregnancy, and she almost died. If the prince consort doesn't treat the princess well in the future, we, the people of the North Wing, will not agree."

"That is that is!"

The people on the other side of Liang State were too far away to see clearly, so they were waiting for Princess Beiyi to cross the river so that they could catch a glimpse of her beauty.

Want to see what kind of beauty could make Emperor Yu obsessed with her and offer half of his country as a betrothal gift?

Is it the beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people, or... who can tell?

The ministers who were quick-witted secretly glanced at Emperor Yu's profile, and were already thinking about what qualifications their daughters of marriageable age had to enter the palace.
